Food and Entertainment with the art of tease that is burlesque. A messy extravaganza that will have you ever so excited about food.

In language spicy enough for a sailor, our MC will lay down the minimal ground rules for first-time attendees ("put your phone away ... and enjoy"), but mostly it's about having fun. "You can hoot, you can holler and even dance with the dancers on stage in some games and a tassel twirl-off."
